Chapter 400 The Robust Imperial Consort 11 (1/2)

Chapter 400 The Robust Imperial Consort 11 "Recently, this humble subject has often been lost in thought, neglecting to eat or sleep, wondering why there is always constant strife and the law of the jungle in this world? Ultimately, perhaps it is because this world is... unjust!"

He sighed, trying to sound profound.

What kind of rubbish is this, all this pedantic nonsense? I don't understand a word it says.

Zi Xi raised an eyebrow, still not looking up, and focused on bandaging Ling Siran with a clean, fine cloth, wanting to see what other profound theories this fool who had mistaken her for someone else could come up with.

Ling Siran became even more stiff and uncomfortable because of Lin Tian's presence.

"Your Highness! You are the Phoenix Maiden of Destiny, don't you think so?"

"How unfair this world is! Why are women born to inherit family businesses and wield power, while men are confined to the inner quarters, their worth determined by their looks and that damned fetal value, like commodities?"

“We men also possess extraordinary talents, the ambition to govern the country and bring peace to the nation, and the ambition to embrace the world. Why can’t we stand on equal footing with women and jointly rule this land?”

Seeing that he had attracted the Second Princess's attention, Lin Tian perked up and raised his voice a few decibels, with an exaggerated sense of excitement.

"In my humble opinion, a truly glorious and prosperous era should be one of gender equality, without distinction of rank! Women should be able to study and take the imperial examinations, and men should be able to join the army and become generals, galloping across the battlefield!"

"Women can marry and take concubines, and men... men can also pursue the love in their hearts, without having to compromise because of worldly views, and should have the right to choose!"

Lin Tian waved his arms, speaking while secretly observing Zi Xi's reaction, hoping to see a sense of kinship and appreciation on the Second Princess's face.

He had discussed it with his sister, and they believed that this shocking and unconventional argument, which included his own agenda, would surely attract the attention of the second princess.

Upon hearing these outrageous remarks, Ling Siran glared at Lin Tian, ​​wanting to stand up and rebuke him for his nonsense.

But Zi Xi pressed down on his shoulder and gently scolded him not to move.

Zi Xi scoffed inwardly. But could an ancient man really utter such a thing as gender equality?

Moreover, although his words sounded very righteous, she saw through them at a glance.

This statement is nothing more than a greedy desire for privilege and an attempt to gain something for nothing.

This person is not genuinely pursuing equality; he is simply dissatisfied with his own situation and wants to overturn the rules to become a superior person.

"This young master's idea is... quite unique."

Zi Xi continued bandaging steadily without raising her head, only replying with a faint, almost imperceptible hint of amusement in her tone.

His expression was calm and unreadable, revealing neither joy nor anger, and there was none of the enthusiastic discussion or recruitment that Lin Tian had anticipated.

"Your Highness! These are my heartfelt words..."

Lin Tian's heart sank, feeling somewhat unwilling. He felt that he hadn't explained things clearly enough and hadn't been able to move the other party. He quickly took half a step forward, wanting to continue his long-winded discussion.

"Young master."

Zi Xi finally finished bandaging the last knot, interrupting him.

She raised her eyes, her phoenix eyes calm and unwavering as she looked at Lin Tian. Her gaze seemed to penetrate his heart, making Lin Tian feel inexplicably guilty.

"Your... profound insights might actually interest my second sister."

Her tone was detached, with a hint of obvious mockery.

"Second...Second Princess? You...you're not the Second Princess?"

Lin Tian was stunned, and the anxious expression on his face froze.

"The Second Princess you mentioned, who might appreciate your nonsense, is in the other tent."

"If you want to show your loyalty and offer advice, go to her place and buzz around. Don't get in my way here."

Zi Xi chuckled softly, slowly tidying up the medicine bottle and gauze in her hands, not even bothering to give him a second glance.

"Show them out! Be more discerning in the future, and don't let just any Tom, Dick, or Harry in with any vague information!"
